Ankit

AP Statistics Tutor • +48 Subjects

I am Ankit Jajoo. I am enrolled in Duke University Class of 2022 studying neuroscience and computer science. STEM is my number one passion, while history is my number one interest. Humanities and STEM not only coexist, but work together often in life. While STEM provides the foundation for the future, humanities contributes to how it is used to advance humanity as a whole. I love biology, chemistry, and computers. It is so cool to see how all these tiny minute parts of the world interact to create you, me, and everything we touch. On the other hand, history is cool to see how societies interacted to create the present world. The past is never separate from us, but always influencing everything from the various countries to cities to the tiny villages all over the world. The world is a combination of all of this and it is my passion to understand the world. Other than just about education and information, I love teaching other people about stuff. I enjoy teaching all my friends some stuff, in return they teach me other stuff. Contrary to popular opinion, teaching is a two way street. I've learned a tremendous amount from students and I hope they learned a similar amount from me. Tutoring students in a field I enjoy such as STEM or history is a dream come true.

Emerson

AP Statistics Tutor • +57 Subjects

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Chicago, working towards a pre-med double major in Psychology and Biology (with a specialization in Neuroscience). Beginning in my early teens, I began working and volunteering as a tutor in a variety of environments: I began as a volunteer at a summer program for underprivileged children at the Learning and Tutoring Center of East Austin, and since I have worked as a private elementary school tutor, a private SAT-prep tutor, and a preschool tutor for the Neighborhood Schools Program in South Side Chicago. I have taken, and succeeded in, a broad range of Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) classes, and am familiar with the latest formats, question varieties, and scoring guidelines of these standardized tests, along with the SAT. My teaching philosophy is to go beyond "teaching to the test". Although test-taking skills are crucial for any assessment, I believe the most valuable thing a tutor can do is to enhance and help develop conceptual understanding in our clients. I believe that once a student understands something at the conceptual level, he or she will be much better prepared for the topic, not only in the specific test we are preparing for, but anywhere else it may come up. Memorizing words or equations might help somebody in the short term, but understanding why that word means what it means, or what an equation is actually depicting is worth the extra effort. Besides test-prep I think I can be a great help in writing and editing, as I have experience in everything from short, timed essays such as the SAT essay, to college essays, to research papers such as the IB Extended Essay. I am fully fluent in Spanish for anyone who wishes to communicate in or practice the language.

Caitlin

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +36 Subjects

I am a rising senior at Duke University who is Pre Med and majoring in Asian and Middle Eastern Studies. I was born and raised in Miami FL and went to public school until college (Sunset Elementary, GW Carver Middle and Coral Reef Senior High for those from Miami). I decided to start tutoring because I would not be on this path had I not had good teachers supporting me along the way. For that reason I want to be able to help others achieve their goals without academics being a huge hurdle.

Charley

I am a Vassar and Dartmouth educated woman with a passion for learning and for making learning fun. I believe in not only helping a student with the assignment at hand, but rather to teach and enforce tools and skills that will help each student for a lifetime. I also believe in customizing my lesson plans to each student rather than emphasizing a "one style fits all" approach. I am positive, energetic, and thrive on helping others succeed and reach their goals. Hobbies: swimming, writing, singing, art, books, reading, music

Olivia

Calculus Tutor • +55 Subjects

I'm passionate about guiding high schoolers through the college application process. The admissions process is probably one of the most confusing, anxiety-inducing experiences you'll have in high school, but I'm full of ideas for making the entire process as successful and stress-free as possible. I've successfully guided many students through every stage of admissions -- from figuring out where to apply and then staying organized and on-track, to "packaging" themselves and producing a perfect personal statement -- and I love witnessing them achieve their admissions dreams.

Eric

Calculus Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am an accomplished musician (trumpet, jazz improvisation) and college instructor (history, humanities, music) who is experienced with students at all levels and from a variety of backgrounds. I enjoy hands-on, one-to-one interactions with my students and use an approach based on mutual respect and cordiality. I particularly like helping students to develop reading, writing, and analytical skills that are useful in the social sciences and business. I also enjoy teaching music fundamentals, especially jazz theory and jazz improvisation with a creative approach that combines aspects of cultural understanding and music theory.

James

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +55 Subjects

I am a graduate of SUNY University at Albany. I received my Bachelor of Science in Economics and Japanese with a minor in History in 2010. Since then (and even before as a sub) I have predominantly been teaching in the New York City public education system. I had worked as a substitute teaching assistant since 2008, moving between dozens of NYC public schools before finally settling in late 2011 at M.S. 216 George J. Ryan--an incredibly diverse middle school in Queens. During my tenure in the school system I have spent time teaching students from Pre-K to 12th grade, from all cultural background and socioeconomic statuses. Regardless of whom I have taught, I have always enjoyed it, partly because I often learn as much from my students as they learn from me. Regardless of the subject, I love teaching, and I find it to be one of the most rewarding and meaningful activities, which cliched as it may sound, really can make a difference in people's lives. Besides teaching, I am also keenly interested in the human body, specifically biomechanics, kinesiology, and rehabilitation through movement. I am currently enrolled in a Doctorate of Physical Therapy program at Washington University in St. Louis, which I should finish in 2018. Hobbies: art, books, sports, reading, music, writing

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Sarasota's 72 schools with expert tutors. Whether your student attends a school in the Sarasota County School District or a charter or private school in the area, we can match them with a tutor who understands local curriculum standards and can provide personalized support aligned with what they're learning in class.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who are familiar with Florida's B.E.S.T. Standards (Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking) and can help students master grade-level expectations in math, reading, science, and social studies. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is especially effective for filling gaps and building confidence in areas where students struggle with state-level benchmarks.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 12.9:1 in Sarasota County schools, teachers work hard to support many students at once. Personalized tutoring fills that gap by providing one-on-one attention focused entirely on your student's individual learning style, pace, and goals—something that's difficult to achieve in a traditional classroom setting.

Sarasota students seek tutoring across a wide range of subjects, including math (especially algebra and geometry), reading and writing, science, and test prep for standardized assessments like the FSA and EOC exams. We also work with students on AP and honors coursework, as well as foundational skills for younger learners. Varsity Tutors can match your student with a tutor in virtually any subject.

During the first session, the tutor will get to know your student—their learning style, current challenges, and goals. They'll assess where your student stands in their subject, understand what they're working on in their Sarasota school classes, and develop a personalized plan for how tutoring can best support them. This foundation helps ensure every session after that is focused and effective.

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who specialize in test prep for SAT, ACT, AP exams, and Florida-specific assessments. Whether your student is preparing for college entrance exams or state-mandated testing, personalized tutoring allows tutors to focus on your student's specific weak areas and test-taking strategies, which research shows leads to stronger results than generic test prep.

Varsity Tutors works with your family's schedule. Sessions can be arranged around school, sports, activities, and other commitments. Whether your student needs help during the school year, summer support, or intensive prep before a big exam, tutors can customize a schedule that works for your family's needs.

Start by telling us about your student's needs—their grade, subject, and goals. Varsity Tutors will match them with a tutor who's a great fit, and you can schedule the first session at a time that works for your family. The process is straightforward, and you'll have a dedicated tutor focused on helping your student succeed.
